It is primarily designed for the core and aggregation layers of the data center but may also make sense in certain access layer implementations.
The Cisco Nexus 7000 Platform is powered by Cisco NX-OS, a state-of-the-art operating system, and was specifically designed with the unique features and capabilities needed in the most mission-critical place in the network, the data center. The switch was designed around three major principles
- Infrastructure scalability: using virtualization, power and cooling efficiency, density, and performance to support efficient data center infrastructure growth
- Operational continuity: integrated hardware, software, and management design to support zero downtime environments
- Transport flexibility: engineering foresight to enable the adoption of new technologies in an incremental, cost-effective manner
